gollark: Unrelatedly, a private number has been calling me a few times in the past few days. I have no idea why, since I haven't actually picked up, and Android apparently won't let me block it. How can I make it stop and also who thought arbitrarily being able to hide your number was a good idea?
gollark: Ah. Kite was complaining about it being slow.
gollark: If it's just counting changed pixels, surely you could do that faster than realtime.
gollark: What if you turn lights on or off, or wave around the camera, or something?
gollark: Wait, your lightning thing just counts whether a lot of pixels change between frames?
